12 Days of Creepmas Day 12

Welcome to 12th and final day of the 12 Days of Creepmas.

The link to hop on over to all the other participants blogs is on my sidebar to your right. You are in for a real treat.

 

 

For my project today I have created another Bauble using one of the Raven images from the Quoth the Raven Rubber set from Smeared Ink. I started by attaching my background paper to an MDF bauble shape. I then sanded back the edges to give a vintage feel. The Raven was stamped onto Neenah cardstock and aged using Distress Ink. A frame was die cut and the stamped image inserted. This was then attached to the Bauble using 3d foam tape. To finish black satin ribbon was threaded to hang and a black satin ribbon bow.

 

 

 

I do hope you have enjoyed all the fabulous projects showcased from myself and all the other bloggers taking part. May I take this opportunity to wish each and everyone of you

 

 

A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

 

Hugs Fiona

So, I think, he can be forgiven for being a bit confused.

 

I coloured up the image using copics onto Neenah classic cardstock. Cut out and attached to my sentiment base ( which had been created in photoshop ) with 3d foam to make the image pop. This was then matted and layered onto black cardstock and attached to an 8x8 card base.

 Good morning and welcome to day 1 of the 12 Days of Creepmas. I am on double duty today with the Smudgy Antics blog too.

 

First up is my DT project as part of the Smeared Ink DT over on the Smudgy Antics blog. I have created an ATC on a Tag on a Tag. I am having such fun creating these you will be seeing a lot more. I started with a large MDF Tag base and covered with Smeared Ink Background paper. I then die cut a smaller tag from Mount board and stencilled some clear 3d gel through a Tim Holtz stencil and and sprinkled some wonderful deep red glitter over and put aside to set. I then created my ATC using Poe from the Smeared Ink Quoth the Raven Rubber set and another of Smeared Inks Background papers. Attached to an ATC base die cut from mount board. I then die cut and glittered some flowers and layered up. Die cut some flourishes and Stamped and glittered  the sentiment. Layered the small tag onto the large tag. Attached the ATC and the flowers and flourishes. To finish I added the sentiment and some black organza ribbon.

 

 

 

 

Next up is my project for Day 1 of the 12 Days of Creepmas. The link to hop on over to all the other participants blogs is on my sidebar to your right. You are in for a real treat.

 

Here we go and guess what I have created an ATC Tag. I used the Raven from Smeared Ink's Quoth the Raven Rubber set which was stamped with black Archival ink onto a background created in photoshop which was printed off. I then attached to a mount board ATC base for stability. I die cut the tag base from mount board and covered in a contrasting background paper to match the ATC. The ATC was then attached to the tag base. I then die cut pionsetta petals from black cardstock and assembled. Holly leaves were the die cut from gold cardstock for contrast. The flowers and the leaves were then attached to the tag base. To finish the sentiment was stamped and layered and mounted onto the tag with 3d foam. Black organza ribbon was added to finish.

Good morning and welcome to the Smeared and Smudged Members Blog Hop. The theme for November is Grunge a good excuse to get down and dirty with your craft stash. The blog roll is at the top of the post so do stop by and see what grunginess all the other participants have created.

Also, don't forget the S&S rule that is has to be stamped somewhere (digi stamps are fine) – we love when you use Smeared Ink stamps, but it is NOT a requirement

 

 

For my project I decided to create a dimensional piece. An ATC on a Tag on a Tag. I started off by creating my Tag bases. The large one from MDF and the smaller one from mount board. I inked them up with distress inks in frayed burlap, gathered twigs and ground espresso. I then splashed with water droplets and dried with a heat tool. I then used Andy Skinners Industrial stamps to stamp over the tag background with coffee archival ink to give a feeling of texture. I then Stencilled the sides of the tags with An Andy Skinner stencil and put aside to dry. I then created my ATC using the  Skull Front digi stamp from Smeared Ink.Rinted off and attached to an ATC base cut from mountboard for stability. I then die cut flowers using the Tattered Florals die from Tim Holz, distressed them using the same distress Inks used for the tag bases. I then assembled everything together added the flowers and some twine and rustic elements to finish.

 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today. Your comments are very much appreciated.

Smudgy Antics midway post and Rick St Dennis Progressive Challenge.

 

 

 

I am doing double duty today so bear with me folks.

 

First up is my project for Smudgy Antics as part of the Smeared Ink DT.

 

NOVEMBER 2015 " ANYTHING GOES....WITH AN OPTIONAL TWIST"

 

The TWIST this month is

Metal Madness

You don't have to use the TWIST.

 

Remember please keep your projects, DARK, MACABRE, CREEPY,SAUCY,NAUGHTY,WICKED, or just plain AWESOMELY UNNACCEPTABLE.

 

For my project I used the fabulous digi Image Music is the Cure from the Smeared Ink Store. I coloured her up with copics, scanned into photoshop and added my text. Printed out and added to a cheap plastic frame which had been given two coats of black gesso. Gilding wax was added to the raised areas to make the frame pop.

 

 

 

 

Next up my project for Rick St Dennis MFA Progressive Challenge Part One as part of the DT. Anything Goes.

 

I used Rick's fabulous Image Bal Masque available from his Zibbet Store. I coloured her up with copics in shades of Teal and set to one side. I then set about creating a mixed media canvas also using shades of teal paint, sprays and mica powders with a touch of gold. Once complete I added the coloured Image to a frame and attached to the canvas.

 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today.

DT Inspiration with Smudgy Antics.

 

Happy Sunday everyone. Now the Halloween festivities have ended ( not for me LOL ) I am back today to showcase my project as part of the Smeared Ink DT over on the Smudgy Antics Blog.

 

 

Our challenge this month is as always 

ANYTHING GOES....
with a TWIST OF   ''METAL MADNESS''
if your mojo needs a little prod!

The only requirement is that you use a 

SMEARED INK image....

REAL RUBBER or DIGI.

 

 

So for my project I have used the fabulous Smeared Ink Digi JUDE. I started by colouring her up with copics. matted and layered onto a black cardstock base, a base of Abigail Larson paper ( re- coloured) a base of black cardstock and finally matted onto an 8x8 card base. To finish I added a doodle border and a black satin bow.

 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today, as always your comments are very much appreciated. Do check out the other DT members blogs for more Smeared Ink Inspiration.



Day # 31 of The 31 Days of Halloween

 

 

Welcome to DAY # 31 OF THE 31 DAYS OF HALLOWE'EN 

hosted by SMEARED AND SMUDGED, 

you can find all the details of this fabulous hop HERE.

The full blog roll is on my side bar and shall remain for

 the rest of the day until the hop has finished.

 

 

 

Well it is the final day and I am so glad I made it to the end. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Terra and Tori at Smeared Ink for hosting a Fabulously Wicked hop this year and  a big Thank You to all of the fabulous sponser's for giving away some awesome prizes, the wicked bloggers for showcasing some awesome and inspirational projects each day and last but not least a huge Thank You and appreciation to all the wonderful visitors to my blog each day for your wonderful comments to which I am grateful for. Thank You.

 

Well enough blabbering and onto my final project for today. I decided to alter a Jewellery box that I picked up from a charity shop for £1. Here is the before photo before I altered it more to my liking.

 

 

 

I started by removing all the brass hardware and sanding it back to remove the varnish. I then gave it two coats of DecoArt media fluid acrylic in carbon black and when dry a coat of DecoArt media satin varnish to protect. I then created my focal image in photoshop with digi stamps from my stash and printed out on my laser printer ready for an image transfer for the box top lid. Before applying to the box I stamped a Raven to the forefront of my design with Versafine ink in onyx black. I then applied my image transfer to the box lid and left overnight. Once dry and rubbed back  I applied a layer of DecoArt  Media Crackle glaze  to the box lid and left to dry. When dry I applied a coat of DecoArt Media Antiquing cream in black and wiped back to highlight all the lovely cracks. I then applied a coat of DecoArt Media satin varnish to protect. I added new silver hinges and attached the box lid back onto the base. The Brass handles for the front of the box were given a coat of pewter metallic paint and DecoArt Media Antiquing cream which was wiped back to age them, then re applied to the box front. I now have a Jewellery box more to my taste.

Well the witching hour is nearly upon us. One more day to go and I must say I am exhausted.

 

My project for today is an ATC Hanger and as it's Friday it is Smeared Ink Day. I have used one of the  Halloween Grumpies from the Real Rubber set available at Smeared Ink. I stamped the pumpkin grumpie on Neenah solar white cardstock with black versafine ink. I then coloured up the image with copics. I then fussy cut the image and embossed with triple thick clear embossing powder. I then created my ATC background and attached to a mount board base. I stamped the grumpie again onto the atc base and layered up my coloured and embossed grumpie on top with 3d foam. I then attached copper brads in all four corners of the atc before attaching the atc to a mixed media board which had been given a coat of DecoArt media fluid acrylic in carbon black. I then stamped my sentiment and mounted onto another chipboard base which had been given the same treatment. Attached copper brads to all four corners. I then punched holes into the sentiment board and attached to the main board with fine black chain. A ribbon hanger and bows were added to finish.

I cannot believe I have made it this far. The end is nigh !

 

 

For my project today I have created a wall hanging using A stampendous stamp as my focal image. I started by stamping the crow in versa mark ink and heat embossed using black glossy embossing powder. I then went over the whole o the background with distress inks. As the image is embossed it acts as a resist. I then applied distress ink through a harlequin stencil to the right side. Water droplets were then splashed all over the background and dried. To finish the edges were inked with black. The same treatment was given to the sentiment piece of the hanger. Both the the background and the sentiment were then attached to chipboard bases which had been coated with DecoArt media fluid acrylic in Carbon Black.

My project for today is an altered pencil pot. I am always looking for creative ways to incorporate ATC's into my work. So I thought why not add them to a pencil pot. Neat Eh....... I created my four ATC's with a Poe theme using Digi images from my own stash and Real rubber images from Quoth the Raven set from Smeared Ink. Attached them to mountboard bases for stability and inked the edges. Next I painted my pencil pot with DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic. Once dry I then stamped all four sides with an Andy Skinner Mixed Media  Crackle stamp in black Archival ink. Gave it a coat of DecoArt Media Satin Varnish to protect. I then attached my ATC's to all four sides. They fit a treat. To finish I covered some pencils in spooky Washi tape and gave them a coat of stain varnish to finish. Am quite pleased how this project turned out. Below is pictures of all four sides.
